Media mogul Rupert Murdoch urged U.S. lawmakers to tackle far-reaching immigration reform, saying that scrapping quotas on special visas and promoting paths to citizenship would boost U.S. growth and innovation.

The chairman of 21st Century Fox and News Corp has also pressed for immigration reform in his native Australia in the belief that freer borders there and in America would boost trade relationships.

I agree with “reform”.. we should have our national guard reform on the border and repel all invaders. Then we should announce a mass deportation starting in Maine and working our way south.

Hmmmm.

So, could that be the reason last week Brit Hume said that ‘amnesty’ was not in the current immigration reform bill, and that ‘amnesty’ was not in any of the previous proposed versions of immigration reform?

It is not amnesty — who are you going to believe? Us or your lying ears/eyes?

FoxNews is becoming another propagandist media outlet — lite on news and heavy on agenda.

I simply do not understand what these moguls get from destroying their own countries with unlimited immigration of the unfit.

Cheap unskilled labor by the illiterate just isn’t enough. There has to be something more.

If “reform” was done correctly, he’s right. Allow skilled workers in, get rid of quotas. Those are good ideas. But amnesty and letting a bunch of unskilled Welfare cases in to further burden the Welfare, foodstamp and now heathcare subsidy system is national suicide.

When will these idiots learn? We won’t care if Ronald Reagan’s ghost rose from the grave to “urge immigration reform”. No deal. Seal the border already.

It will certainly cause growth - but not in the sectors we want to grow.

I have to wonder why he thinks a million bedraggled central Americans will have any positive affect on our country - they'll just be more deadweight for us to carry.

It isn’t in the bill from congress. Problem is whatever leaves the house the senate will put the amnesty piece in and the rats and MSM (but I repeat myself) will crucify the thugs in conference.

That’s how the bill gets to the President for signature. And there is nothing the Ted Cruz’s in the senate can do about it. That’s why elections have consequences.
